Cumulus dropping Limbaugh, Hannity at the end of 2013

[Smilodonfatalis]

How did I know this was coming? Another Libtard trying to celebrate the death of Rush and Sean?

The article clearly states that this won't effect either of them one little bit. They'll just change to a different service and Cumulus will have to fill their spots with "current staff" which'll mean a massive drop in income.

If anything, it'll mean more listeners and probably more $$$ for both.

No such word as libtard. I've already gone over this on this message board. Using the fake word libtard makes you sound like an ignoramus.

You are a liar. It will mean less listeners and less money.

Think up another one.

Hateful reactionary Left cannot compete on the battlefield of ideas: they embrace a failed economic ideology that can only be enforced at gunpoint and is so awful and evil they have to build walls to keep the sane and productive from fleeing. If they could have built a wall around Detroit they would have. That's what Limbaugh points out daily and since they can't answer it (liberals talk radio is a 100% fail) they have to silence the opposition. That's how the Marxist soul responds to ideas at odds with the collective

Yes, Rush is very good at using the cutting edge technology of 1920 to reach old angry people.

Do you know how they describe Rush's demagraphic?

Dead.

No. Actually they describe Rush's demographic as "voter".

RUSH:* the middle of the day was the absolute worst time to be an advertiser on radio because the only people listening were people who have no jobs, and what could they afford to buy?* You know, what sponsor could they frequent?*

I think he might be referring to this:

>> That imperative explains why Limbaugh kept talking about Sandra Fluke for so long. He was boosting his TSL to compensate for his dwindling market share. Few things boost TSL like getting the old folks agitated over how much sexy sex these shameless young hussies are having nowadays. (And make no mistake: Limbaugh’s audience is very old. One station manager quipped to me, “The median age of Limbaugh’s audience? Deceased.”) (David Frum)

 

[Foxfyre]

Demographics of Rush Limbaugh show:
https://www.quantcast.com/rushlimbaugh.com

To put it into perspective, however, note how many of his audience are working class Americans, a large majority hold college or advanced degrees, and those who identify themselves as non-white/non caucasion outnumber those who do identify themselves as white/caucasion.

Yes, the audience is older but that is the case of ALL news/talk audiences. I'm guessing Rush probably gets as larger or larger share of the younger folks than any other program in his genre.

And he gets a higher percentage of college educated folks compared to the industry average:

• Although news/talk radio is skewed toward males, far more women are listening than is generally recognized. Considering the active nature of news/talk listeners, as well as the significant quantitative numbers, this female audience should not be ignored, especially on stations with large total listenerships. Perhaps sales departments should work more vigorously at selling existing female numbers than, as then-Clear Channel vice president Gabe Hobbs put it several years ago at the TALKERS magazine info-session at the NAB Radio Show in Dallas, “taking the path of least resistance” by concentrating only on the higher rankings of their male listenerships.

• News/talk radio (including “conservative talk radio&#8221 has a much larger African American listenership than most people think. Approximately 22% of the audience is comprised of black people who like news/talk radio in higher proportions than their percentage of the population (and that’s not even counting the listenership of urban talk radio which is closely related to news/talk radio in terms of subject matter).

• Thirty-five percent of the listeners of news/talk radio over 25 have graduated from college. Interestingly, this includes a significant number of workers categorized as “blue collar.” That’s right, a consistently growing segment of America’s blue collar work force is college educated…and is listening to news/talk radio.

• Although many of the hosts (and callers) in the news/talk radio universe are obviously conservative, the listeners are far more diverse in terms of philosophy and party affiliation. In other words, there is not as much preaching to the choir as conventional wisdom would have you believe. . . .

No, YOU made a distinct claim, and I quote "largest audience of all time". You offered no "proof" of either the comparative nor the numbers themselves (nor does Lush). I simply opined that that distinct claim is distinctly bullshit.

And this level of defensiveness after claiming not to be a fan...

You also appear to be laboring under the misconception that the objective of a radio program is simply to draw listeners. If true it would be like stating the objective here is to post something that draws readers, whatever the content, which means grabbing attention any way you can, in which case you might as well just paste porn images. In other words by measuring Limblob (or anyone else) by ratings numbers, you're saying the content therein is meaningless and amounts to, in this case, political porn.

OK, have it your way.

HOW do you figure that's moving goalposts? I quoted your post, dood. I guess you're preparing to move your own goalposts, because your phrase "largest audience of all time" absolutely DOES imply that you think ratings numbers are some kind of measure of value. You're going to walk that back now?

They are a measure of the monetary value of the programming to advertisers and radio stations.

You said Fr. Coughlin had a larger audience and I told you "good luck proving" that claim.

Correct. And if you're not a salesman selling ads on the airtime of that show, what do you care?

You said Fr. Coughlin had a larger audience and I told you "good luck proving" that claim.

And this is after you attributed Limblob the "largest audience of all time". Still waiting for "proof" on that.
Now if that proof can beat 30 million, you might have a case. With Coughlin anyway. Then we can go on to Amos and Andy. They drew 40 million. Cinemas didn't even bother opening for business until the broadcast was over.

Not that any of these numbers have anything to do with the value of any of these programs' content, which is where the goalpost was supposed to be sitting...

Ironically enough, the post that put forth this claim ended with this:

This might be why most liberals are just plain terrible at business. They can't count.

Oopsie.

No, what bothers me is that Rush distracts people from what the REAL problems are in this country because he works for the forces that profit from teh real problems.

And, shit, I fell for it for years. Until I got a wakeup call 6 years ago.

Joe has a new calendar. It's the year 6 AIWFBEC (After I Was Fired By Evil Capitalists)

Well, no, a year before they fired me, they tried their damnedest to get me to quit on my own, and I tried my damnedest to find a job that paid better.

So really, it would be, "6 AUMSMTRFOC" (After Ungrateful Managers Showed Me the True Face of Corporatism)

But I'm suspecting a lot of people got that wakeup call, which is why Obama won.

How's that working out for you? Did you get your job back?

No, I got a different job that doesn't pay quite as well. I got a second job to make up the difference. And I've started a private business that is building slowly.

But I'm still sick of corporatism and it's political mouthpieces in the GOP.

Hmmm...I'm smelling an out of context quote. Due to Rush's use of 'was' and 'were,'
I'd venture a guess he was talking about the state of daytime radio prior to him revolutionizing it.

Just a guess as I've heard similar references from him in the past.

Sure, people are going to give up their daytime jobs and switch to the night shift just so they can listen to your MessiahRushie!

Actually it was a reply to a comment from a caller about the timing of an Obama speech given when no one with a job would be listening, during the last hour of Fatso's show!!!

April 14, 2011
CALLER:* You know, I heard you say that Obama could not have given that speech at a primetime venue.* And I think you're absolutely right about that.* Most of the working class people at two o'clock in the afternoon yesterday were doing their jobs, I'm sure, and had little if no time to at least digest what he had said.

Funny, I read this while looking up something about Hannity:

First came word from the Drudge Report that Megyn Fox is taking over his 9 p.m. slot on 21st Century Fox's (FOXA -1.66%) Fox News Channel. Now, Politico is reporting that Cumulus Media (CMLS -2.42%) is dropping Hannity's show and renewing its contract with Rush Limbaugh, contradicting earlier reports that the company would cut ties with both broadcasters.

Sean Hannity will survive his bad week just fine- MSN Money
